     1 Release notes for lxdream 0.8.4

     2 ===================================================

     4 Please note that this is still an alpha release - many things are not yet

     5 implemented, it has many bugs (especially wrt rendering), and it's

     6 not likely to run at 100% speed.

     8 Having said all that, some games are known to run to at least

     9 some degree (aka everything we've tried), and most homebrew works

    10 perfectly or nearly so - feel free to experiment and let us

    11 know how it goes.

    13 Changes since 0.8.3

    14 -------------------

    15 * Fullly native Mac OS X support

    16 * Renderer rewrite (fixes perspective correction among other problems)

    17 * ALSA and PulseAudio sound drivers

    18 * Save states now work on x86-64

    19 * New translations: Spanish and Italian

    20 * Lots of miscellaneous bug-fixes and improvements

    22 Changes since 0.8.2

    23 -------------------

    24 * MMU Implementation

    25 * Dreamcast mouse + keyboard support

    26 * Joystick/gamepad support

    27 * Assorted bug-fixes

    29 Changes since 0.8.1

    30 -------------------

    31 * x86-64 architecture support

    32 * Preliminary Mac OS X support

    33 * Pbuffer support (to support OpenGL drivers without EXT_framebuffer_object)

    34 * Support for more recent CDI and NRG image file versions

    35 * Minor bugfixes

    37 Changes since 0.8

    38 -----------------

    39 * Various configure/build fixes for compatibility

    40 * GDI image support

    41 * Minor bugfixes

    43 Changes since Milestone 3

    44 -------------------------

    45 * Speed improvements (translation core now runs at roughly double the speed

    46   of M3)

    47 * GUI Overhaul - it's actually somewhat usable now. Also removed the gnome

    48   dependency (now just needs GTK 2.0)

    49 * Sound fixes (aka, some sound actually works now)

    50 * A few minor bugfixes and tweaks.

    52 Changes since Milestone 2

    53 -------------------------

    54 * Implemented the SH4 translation core

    55 * A handful of minor bugfixes

    57 No really, that's it. The good stuff is coming next version, honest

    59 Changes since Milestone 1

    60 -------------------------

    61 * Complete rewrite of nearly all PowerVR2 code - The M1 code was largely a

    62 quick hack to get something running. It's done for real now.

    63 * Initial IO event system (not widely used yet)

    64 * Lots of bugfixes throughout the system

    66 Known issues

    67 ------------

    68 The following are known bugs (as opposed to missing features) that will be

    69 fixed in the next release, but are too large to be fixed for this version:

    71 * Graphic artifacts related to triangle sorting and/of lack of depth

    72   precision.

    74 System requirements

    75 -------------------

    76 Linux:

    77    GTK 2.6+

    78    OpenGL drivers with EXT_framebuffer_object or GLX PBuffer support

    79       - Currently this means either the ATI or NVidia binary drivers.

    81 OS X:

    82    System 10.4 or later

    84 GCC, Make, etc.
